MOOG 515036 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

It would have taken a week to get the more expensive Timken everyone recommends. However, Moog also has a good reputation behind Timken and this was a little less expensive and available overnight. Watch all the YouTube videos about how to change this part to get a sense about what you're facing and the tricks for removal of the original. Make sure you also purchase a couple 1/2" diameter grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers to "jack" the old hub off the spindle. Removing the old hub from the spindle was indeed a difficult part of this job. I used a 24" pipe wrench and sledge hammer. I used oxy-acetylene torch to heat the spindle and bearing assembly. I beat on the face of the old hub. What worked for me was using an air hammer with a chisel to get under the old flange and it started to open a gap. Old chisels and screwdrivers also helped wedge in there. Use plenty of anti-seize on the mating surfaces and spline just in case you need to do this again in the future.Did I mention, also purchase a new rotor for this job!Because the MOST difficult part of this job was the also most unexpected. I could NOT get the old brake rotor off! Beating and heating, beating and heating... over and over. Air hammer, sledge hammer, pry bars, crow bars... nothing worked until I put a bolt through one of the caliper mounting holes and a used a washer and nut to apply extreme pressure to the back of the rotor. After two different attempts, I finally heard that crack and it popped off. Be sure to use anti-seize grease or high temperature brake grease on the hub so your new rotor will never seize like that.Another TIP: As soon as you get the rotor off, remove the speed sensor from the old rotor assembly and save it assuming it was in working condition prior to this job. Why? So you don't have to worry about damaging or melting it when you are heating and beating the hub assembly. Also, I planned on re-using the old sensor and saving the Moog sensor as a spare. In the end, my original did not work in the Moog - I don't know if it was a shimming issue or if it had failed after handling it. Regardless, the Moog speed sensor looks like good quality and seems to be working fine so far.Finally, in all the hub videos, everyone is taking apart the calipers, removing brackets, pads, pins, boots, etc. Why? Unless you're doing a full brake job, with new pads and rebuilding the caliper, just remove the two caliper mounting bolts (18mm hex heads) and pull the caliper off the mounting ears as ONE intact assembly with bracket and pads all together. It makes re-assembly quick and easy, especially if you recently did brake servicing.This is one job you don't want to do multiple times, so if this bearing fails too soon, you better believe I will be updating this review.

I went to the MOOG website, and confirmed the exact part number... And this is EXACTLY the same...After getting the old hub out (bit of a chore), and cleaning up the spindle, this hub went in like a DREAM. Everything fit PERFECTLY.It came with a whole new ABS wire, that included ALL of the retaining clips, and everything. I didn't have to remove the wire, and I didn't have to reuse any of the old clips.Ended up being a 4 hour project. But it rides and performs GREAT!! Now, we'll see how long this $80 hub lasts, with my 22" wheels...

Outstanding OEM quality product. Pay a little more and order the best! Thanks DU

Perfect fit for my 2006 Sierra and so far it has been working flawlessly. No noise from the front end.Also used this to fix an ABS light on my 2001 Tahoe due to a wheel bearing coming apart internally and leaving metal chunks on the ABS sensor.

Initially Amazon delayed shipping by 3x the initially claimed shipping date, but after a stern email and phone call they shipped it quickly.The install of the new part was easy, however the removal of the old was difficult for my first one. Watch some YouTube first, and turn your wheels for best access to bolts.

1 of the 2 that I purchased had a bad ABS Sensor. Resistance should be ~1.1k ohms, it was completely open. Had to dissemble down to the rotor to replace the ABS sensor.

It is worth the time and effort to pay for a name brand. I’ve used cheap bearings before and they wear out quicker then moog. Perfect fit

Eventually bought 2 of these in a months time. One side I could feel was tripping the abs system. Brake pedal would act up at 5mph and pull to the drivers side. I figured it was the sensor or hub surface was corroded. This fixed both problems on that side.. then the other side started the same thing. Moog makes good suspension and stability parts. They have an economy brand that’s crap but this ain’t it. Really feel good about the few extra bucks per axle. The transmission will go out before these hubs. They’re complete assemblies with abs and speed sensor, tough wires, solid wheel studs.
